I began this Summer with the hopes of keeping things simple. Staying home. Swimming occasionally. Reading some good books. Visiting the Library. A few BBQ's with friends. Making crafts with the boys. You know, a nice, relaxing, peaceful BREAK! We only had our annual camping trip to Warm River planned, and with Jeff taking his EMT class twice a week and on Saturdays all Summer, I thought I'd have no problem keeping things mellow around here! WRONG! I guess I'm just a sucker for a good time or something!
If Chad was asked what he did over his Summer Break, I'm not sure he'd know where to begin! Here's the list:
Crafts with Mom (I tried, we didn't do much!)
Visiting the Library
Playing with Webb cousins
4th of July parade & fireworks
BBQ's with friends (Almost EVERY week!)
Camping, fishing, floating, & playing at Warm River
(Kyle learned to ride his bike while camping!)
Hiking Millcreek Canyon
Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House
Walking the river at Sugarhouse Park
Playing with Maher cousins
Museum of Natural History
Hogle Zoo
Discovery Gateway
Playing at the park
Thanksgiving Point Children's Garden
Visiting with Sanderson's from Indiana
Sweet's Candy Factory
Discovery Gateway again!
Wheeler Farm
Classic Skating Bounce House
Working in the garden (we were home sometimes!)
Playing with friends
IKEA with Aunt DiDi and Uncle Mark
Playing with Puriri cousins
Playing with Niederhauser cousins
IKEA with Kelly (TWICE)
Thanksgiving Point Gardens
Museum of Ancient Life
Dinner with friends
And A LOT of running, bike riding, swinging, and visiting out on the front lawn!
By the end of it all, I felt a little like Alison looks in the last photo! I KNOW this slideshow is overkill, but it was either all or nothing! I couldn't bear to do a separate post about each of the fun things we did! Thank you friends and family for all of the invites! Lucky for you I didn't have my camera every place we went! I thought I knew how to say "NO"!!! Apparently NOT! You agree with my post title, now don't you?

Holy cow, girl. You managed to put me to shame! We did NOTHING compared to you. And that last picture of Allison is wonderful, but not as wonderful as the picture of you on Kyle's bike!
You forgot to add delivering a baby, doing the Back and beating your PR on the half!!!
That last picture is wonderful. It looks like you had a great summer!
um-so why didn't you come to St. George for a visit???

It makes me tired just to look at all of the stuff that you managed to fit into just a couple of months. You are AMAZING!!! Looks like it was tons of fun!
Busy, Busy, Busy! That how we like to stay, right? Alison's pix says it all and that would just be a day at my house. I ditto Kerri's comment about the Baby, the Back and the PR!
